- I was just on a Zoom call that ended automagically after 40 minutes because the organizer was on a free tier. This is the single greatest advance to meeting productivity that I’ve ever seen. Would pay extra for this feature.
- Replying to @KTmBoyle“Dear HOA, I am surprised to learn that my Christmas lights are in violation of one of the rules. Being somewhat of a completionist, I am now compelled to modify my holiday display to try to violate ALL your rules at once. I look forward to your ongoing assessment of my

- We raised an A-Round for @mmhmmapp led by @sequoia. A giant thank you to our beta testers, our investors, and our hard-working team! It’s been a whirlwind few months but now we have the resources to try to make the world a little bit better. mmhmm.app/blog/we-raised…
- Sometimes I wake up and feel there are an infinite number of things to do and it’s overwhelming and hard to get out of bed. So I think: It’s not actually infinite, it’s like twenty. And out of those twenty, I only really need to do four today. I can do four things. I get up.
